Chen Xiang literally translates to “the fragrance of aged” Pu-erh tea. Formerly known as 16-yea-old Ripe Pu-erh, this tea has aged to achieve the “Chen Xiang” sought after by Pu-erh connoisseurs. Its mellow, smooth aged ripe Pu-erh flavor is not only satisfying to the palate and soothing to the stomach, it is also calming to the soul. Drink it after a meal or whenever you feel overwhelmed.

Yunnan SourcingFinishing off the rest of my sample tonight. I had a bunch of vegan chili with beans and this seems like the perfect thing to have after a heavy meal. I did two steeps for around 30 seconds in a gaiwan and poured the results into an Irish coffee mug. It does seem a shame to toss the leaves now but perhaps I will cold steep them and drink them in the morning. This is a luscious pu-erh for sure, clean and mellow with no weird aromas or flavors in sight. See previous notes for more info.
Starting off with some spiciness on the first steep that developed into menthol on the second, I started this tea off with fairly high hopes. However, the menthol rapidly faded, supplanted by a slight sour note that floated above a general dark creaminess not too far removed from a typical 7572. The menthol’s lingered in a generally cooling aftertaste, but that’s about the only remnant of it. Other than flavor, the tea has a bit of viscosity—not a whole lot though—and nothing to speak of in the way of qi, with only a little caffeine in the background. This is decent, but there’s better tea available for the not insignificant price.
Provided as a sample with my last order from Bana.
Flavors: Cream, Menthol, Mushrooms, Sour
When I have vegetarian chili I always have a cup of Pu Erh afterwards because they really do go very well together. Odd seeing as they come from two different parts of the world lol. This brand sounds delicious _
Sounds like it would be good iced! I bottle and chill puerh which is refreshing.
I do like the Bana teas I have had so far!
